no prob.... thats why i made this topic

ya its koo that people are helpin now. i never posted here any more cuz all the beef.... lets try 2 keep it this way ppl

[FesterMRS]

thanks, guys. You've actually helped me. I usually don't take my time on sketches, but i will next time.

[joust]

i think alot of people start out using really jerky little lines when they sketch. Guys- just try slowing it down and work on each letter at a time. Try loosining up your wrist and lettin that shit flow.

To all starters:

People will call you 'toys'
be not dissuaded by this - it is just a term designed
to put off those with not enough gumption to continue
down the graffer path until it is shaken off. It someone
says your a toy then you are (or they are) simply accept
this and either carry on progressing or quit.

Start painting NOW don't wait until you 'get better' any
experience is still experience! Every line painted is
another step towards being an ex-toy. Don't worry
about it not being very good - another graffer will
feel the same way and helpfully cover it up for you.

Don't get stuck in a rut - Wildstyle rocks but is it your
style? Keep searching the path is endless if you stop
evolving then you'll become extinct.

Lastly (this is more of a pet hate of mine) try not to
'go all banksy' and attempt to produce semi artistic
stencil street. Instead, if you feel compationate about
something, make fully artistic street art - peeps can
tell the difference.

So have fun and don't just accept the things I've said -
think them over and choose to agree or disagree.

i agree with you...to some extent (sp)

-as for the word "Toy"...the word its-self...its dead....meaningless, people use the word way 2 much..wich killed it..
If someone calls you toy, fuck it. dont pay attention, its their ego talking, when you get to a point in graffiti your ego just blows up, you think you are the best...etc... so just brush it off and do your thing.....

-yes, start painting....but not the town....find a chill place where you can practice. trust me..no one wants to see "toy" shit all up and around the city...i agree with LongQuan, everytime you paint you learn new stuff....but till you get a bit good....dont hit up the streets. *buy a couple pieces of ply-wood...prime it and practice there in your backyard..., it helps*

-Wildstyle does look nice...and like LongQuan said...its not for everyone...i see people these days trying to pull off wild styles and it dosent even feel/look right..why? because its not their style....wild style is not for everyone....who knows, maybe if you get well at your style enough, kids will start to copy you. and forget all about wildstyle...hahaa :lol:

-and last. my own personal imput.....be original....graffiti is for you...its supposed 2 be an extention of you...when people see a style they say...."oh theres ____"....or they know someone did a certain piece just cuz of the style....it takes years to get style...dont give up.....even after you think you found your style, it evolves in to something greater later on...sooo just practice... and who knows..maybe in 10-20 years you might be the one who sets the new bar on graffiti... h34r:

peaz&carrotz people...till next time..

*its 2am...im tired...i suck at spelling...both aint a good mix..

damn did you make that first line up all by yourself?

anyways, your sketch is ok, you should try to make your letters flow together and use more than one color so you can distinguish the letters better. keep on sketchin. nothin comes overnight.

i like how you at least started simple....jsut keep on skeatching ...you&#39;ll evolve

[yuki]

I found a post that someone started about being a toy and needing help right above this one on the list. That sux. If peepz would just use their eyes they would know to utilize this post. Oh well.

I am really good at drawing the stuff in my notebook but ive never done anything with a can. if i can draw can i use a can? also what kind of respirator should i use? and what paint should i use?
